Abstract
A new cruciform specimen under biaxial loading was designed for simula ting the structure at vessel/nozzle junctions and for studying the fat igue growth behaviour of corner crack. The computed and experimental r esults show that the character of the strain distribution in the speci men is the same as that of the vessel/nozzle junction and that the fat igue growth behaviour of the corner crack is relative to the biaxial l oad ratio and to the shape and dimension of the initial corner crack.
